general problems of the 2011 Toyota Corolla - part 1

The contact owned a 2011 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that while he was driving at 40 mph, another vehicle that was speeding caused a multiple vehicle collision. During the collision, the contact was in the middle lane when the speeding vehicle crashed into a vehicle in the left lane, and that vehicle merged violently into the middle lane, causing the contact to rear-end the vehicle in front due to the driver abruptly stopping. During the attempt to stop, the vehicle failed to decelerate sufficiently. Upon impact, the frontal air bags failed to fully deploy, as they only partially emerged from the housing. The failure experienced was a loss of braking effectiveness at 40 mph that resulted in a rear-end collision, during which the frontal air bags failed to deploy. The vehicle was towed to a family member's home. The tire pressure warning was the only warning light on at the time of the crash. The driver was injured. Injuries sustained were lower back, right side ribs, and neck pain that required medical attention. The vehicle was deemed totaled by insurance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 124,000.

I am submitting a safety concern regarding airbag non-deployment involving my former vehicle, a 2011 Toyota Corolla le (VIN: [xxx] ). This vehicle was subject to multiple takata airbag recalls, including a 2018 front airbag recall and a may 2020 takata non-deployment and seatbelt pretensioner interim recall. Beginning in spring 2021, the airbag warning light illuminated intermittently. On may 30, 2024, diagnostic trouble codes b1813 and b1818 were recorded, indicating faults involving the driver and passenger airbag squib circuits and potential center airbag sensor assembly involvement. A recall-related repair was completed on June 6, 2024 with installation of a harness kit (04009-98112) under extended warranty associated with a class action settlement. Following subsequent service, the airbag warning light was no longer illuminated. After these repairs, the vehicle was later involved in a rear-end collision in which the airbags did not deploy. The vehicle was declared a total loss and is no longer in my possession. Given the vehicle’s documented history of airbag system recalls and prior srs fault codes, I am submitting this incident for safety documentation and review. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Vehicle horn stopped working. Not sure what caused it to stop working. I have not used it that often, but this recently happen when I was merging onto the highway and another vehicle almost ran right into me and my horn did not work to warn them I was there. This makes me nervous in case something does happen with my child in the car.

Called the dealership that we bought the car from (prime Ford saco maine) and they told me the recall was taken care of and we were all set. Come to find out, it wasnt completed and my son has been driving around in an unsafe vehicle.

Called Toyota south atlanta (6865 jonesboro rd, morrow, GA 30260 | (770) 961-0225) to make an appointment on 7/2 for the airbag recall, said will send a message to the recall specialist, they will check inventory status, then give me a call back to make appointments. No returned call. 7/12 called once more and receptionist said the e-mail was sent once more. "due to the large amount of e-mails, response may be slow", so I waited. 7/23 called once more, the recall specialist wasn't in and was told to call back the next day. 7/24 called one last time and ended up talking to the regional manager, who said would find out the situation and call me back but never did. I am starting to think that Toyota south atlanta is just using this method to avoid any warranty repairs without having to verbally reject the repairs. . . You can contact me at 404-451-6292 and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you.

I was notified of the air bag recall a year ago but the car dealerships in my area does not have the parts and I need to use my vehicle daily. So I am not sure what to do from here for that but I believe that the appropriate time to remedy this recall has past already and the fact that we have our children riding with us and we are unaware that their life is in danger or because we can not get it fixed is not acceptable. Then on top of that I am having issues like when my 2011 Corolla is sitting idle it will rev up the engine without touching the gas pedal and does this randomly and without warning and also while I am driving around 55 mph on the interstate or highway sometimes it will dramatically drop and lose about 10- 15 mph speed for no reason and this happens randomly as well. And this fluctuation happens during cruise control the most so I no longer even use that function. Also both headlights have moisture in them and are so fogged up now that visibility is almost impossible at night now. Also the weather striping around all my windows have dry rotted and broke off and there is practically nothing left of stripping anymore. Then the center dash above the radio just broke and gave out under my phone holder while driving, it broke into about 15 different pieces. I know that my phone or the holder is even close to heavy enough to cause the dash panel to cave in like that. I called to get a price on the dash and it was like $250+ and who can afford that for a piece of plastic. Lastly my driver and passenger seat will get stuck if you try adjusting them and sometimes it will let you move the seat but to do so you have to hop up and down for several minutes and throughout the adjustment to get the seat to move in any direction.

Takata recall my car is the Toyota Corolla 2011 and has been affected by the recall of the passenger airbag. It is highly susceptible to moisture humidity in fluctuating temperatures especially high temperatures. When I first bought this car I was living in dana point California which is right on the ocean literally I could see the ocean from my house and it has lots of moisture fluctuating high temperatures and humidity. I am now living in bellevue washington which also has fluctuating high temperatures lots of moisture and this is what is susceptible to this airbag defect. I am a single mom and worried about the safety of my child of my nine-year-old son driving him around in my car. I did not know about this defect and have had people in the front seat many times risking their own life and their safety numerous times. I have even been in the passenger seat many times in my car risking my own life not even knowing it. I am unemployed and wanted to work for uber or lyft and was unable to do to my car safety regulations and have lost so much time and money due to my car's safety. No solution has come up until now all these years and time I have lost so much money by not being able to drive my car and I also wanted to become a nanny but was unable to do to my cars defects. I have no money to buy another car and struggle to pay my rent and provide for my son having no job and not even being able to drive my car barely at all. Luckily nothing serious has happened because I have to drive my car scared everytime I get behind the wheel does somebody might run into me and I could injure myself for my son. When I put every dollar into buying my car I had no idea that I would be putting myself in my son at risk every day for death. I would like to be compensated over the past four years for all of the money and wages that I have lost.

Takata recall; not being addressed in timely fashion. Checked website, Corolla 2011 has takata airbags but recall hasn't started yet.

Takata recall. I have been waiting for Toyota to replace my airbag for over two years but I do not see any action from Toyota. I do not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat due to the fear of serious injury or death if the situation arise to the deployment of the airbag. This is so bad and hope something can be done to get this corrected.

On four separate occasions (while car was in motion and in park) my front passenger seat alarm was alerting me to buckle up but I am always the only one in the car/no one is riding in front passenger seat. On that same side (front/right) an air bag panel keeps popping out/will not stay in place and I am very afraid there is a recall on my car and no one is aware of it. Would like to figure out how serious this is. Including a picture as well. . . . Please and thanks!.

Takata recall; Toyota has not provided a remedy for my vehicle and I received the recall notice may 2016. They have failed to provide a remedy in a timely matter. Vehicle is unsafe and very dangerous to drive.

Takata recal: I have been told a year ago that these airbags will get especially dangerous around September of 2017. We are almost there and my dealer says the replacement airbags are not available. What can I do? I live in a hot humid place where the airbags degrade fast. Would the dealer remove the airbag without putting in the replacement?.

Takata recall, I have recieved two different pieces of mail about th air bags. I drive on the highway about 60 miles round trip for work. I feel as if the air bags being deployed and a possibility of metal coming out is a big deal for me. I live in florida where it is very humid and constant high temperatures. I think the airbags should be replaced accordingly consider the risk of serious injury.
